...gathered in the slave-built, whitewashed Lowndes County courthouse - least of all the paunchy, gum-chewing defendant - allowed that to interfere with the civilities. There, grinning across the court room, was Coleman's nephew, Robert Coleman Black, one of his defense attorneys. A defense witness was a first cousin. Mrs. Kelley Coleman, the court clerk, was a cousin by marriage. The defendant's own name even appeared on the list of potential jurors, causing quiet merriment when it was read aloud in court...
...Antony Radziwill stuck to his obligations, first as a waiter at the Blue Cockatoo in Chelsea and then as wine steward at the Hertford Hotel in London's Bayswater. Finally the noblesse paid off.

In addition, the papers will merge their production facilities, at first doing most of their printing...
Their show is relentlessly in character. Festus gives his goose call. Doc up and says, "My cousin's so tall she hunts geese with a rake." The delivery is always slow-motion ("You can't Bob Hope 'em," says Stone) and fair-circuit clean. About as daring as they got at the Indiana State Fair last week was the routine in which Festus reported, "I've got 'seenus' trouble." "You mean sinus," corrected Doc.
